Crackleback 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2011 I've got the 10' 4wt and use a Lamson Konic. It balances pretty well but not sure if it would with a 9 footer. -Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was looking at the 10'4wt myself, but thought for my home waters the 9' should do me justice. And if I feel I need that extra foot, I'll go out and get the 10' 4wt next. Since one can never have to many fly rods can he? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteveGibson 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 Other than balance, I'm not quite sure what the importance of the reel might be on a 4-weight? Isn't it to store line at the end of the day? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't it to store line at the end of the day? no no no, you've got it all wrong. It must have a space-age unobtanium drag that will stop a locomotive- or at least a mid-powered motorcycle with a 200lb rider, and be capable of holding at least 643 yards of 10lb superline backing. It absolutely must be capable of withstanding corrosive conditions up to and including the atmosphere of Venus, just in case you decide to throw it on a sandy bank and drive over it with a bulldozer during the photo op of you and the 12 inch stocked trout you caught in the Great Salt Lake. get with the program.

Flyweaver 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2011 I've got the 10' 3wt and I use a Allen alpha 3-4 reel and I am very happy with it. Contact Justin and see if he will discount it for you. Also He may have a sale some on reels . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL now that sounds pretty decent, i do know of a few people who take their 4wt's out for tuna so perhaps there is a market Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
